So I submitted a post to buildapcforme then came across a few builds that I liked and created this one out of it. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. It'll be my first time building a pc and I'm interested in using it mostly for gaming and schoolwork. I plan on running a windows 7 OS and figured this build would suit my needs. I tried to keep it around $800.
